In that instant, Ryuu Kumo's entire aura surged violently. The black blade, Night, flared out boldly before he swung it fiercely.
Buzz!!!
A sharp sword hum pierced the air.
A flash of azure light streaked forth.
The grand and fierce azure slash rose from the ground like a wild blue beast, charging straight at Saitama!
At that moment, where the slash touched, the ground cracked open. Even the hard stones beneath were crushed into dust by that terrifying power!
"What!?"
Fubuki, hovering midair, was stunned.
She never expected Ryuu Kumo to suddenly strike at Saitama!
Saitama obviously didn't anticipate this either. His deadpan eyes blinked, still not reacting when that astonishing slash cut through the ground and came straight at him.
In that instant, Saitama's figure was engulfed by the azure light, then violently flung away.
"Dracule Mihawk, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Fubuki finally snapped back to her senses. Out of her heroic duty, she hurriedly asked Ryuu Kumo.
Originally, seeing Ryuu Kumo slay the Vaccine Man, she instinctively regarded him as part of the human and justice factions. But she never imagined that Ryuu Kumo would suddenly attack Saitama, who was obviously human.
What was going on!?
Especially shocking to Fubuki was that the slash Ryuu Kumo unleashed now was far more powerful than the one that killed the Vaccine Man!
The ground now bore a terrifying sword scar like a massive tunnel, with the surrounding earth shattered as if an earth dragon had rampaged repeatedly.
With such power, Fubuki thought there was no way Saitama could survive.
So why would Ryuu Kumo want to kill Saitama?
Just as Fubuki was pondering this, something unexpected happened!
Saitama, who had been flung away, fell to the ground but quickly stood up.
Not only was there no sign of being cut in half, not even a scratch appeared on him.
"Huh!?"
Seeing this, Fubuki was stunned again.
Ryuu Kumo's sudden attack on Saitama was already strange, but now Saitama's condition was even stranger.
Who was he?
How could he withstand a slash stronger than the one that killed the Vaccine Man?
As for Ryuu Kumo, he was not surprised at all by Saitama's unscathed state.
Though he had used full strength in that strike, it would be strange if Saitama couldn't block it!
Only someone like the Bald Demon King deserved such a reputation!
Ryuu Kumo's fighting spirit surged.
At this moment, Saitama was also a bit puzzled.
Scratching his bald head, he stood up and asked Ryuu Kumo curiously, "Are you going to teach me swordsmanship? At least give me a heads-up!"
Then, feeling a bit sorry, he looked down and said, "My clothes are all torn!"
Indeed!
The strike of the greatest swordsman in the pirate world had only damaged his clothes!
Ryuu Kumo couldn't help but laugh at Saitama's subtle swagger.
He lowered the black blade Night and pointed the sword at Saitama.
"I don't teach the weak."
"If you want to learn my skills, show me your strength first!"
"Kid, state your name!"
Ryuu Kumo obviously did not know Saitama's name, so he asked knowingly.
Saitama blankly replied, "Ah, I'm Saitama, a hero for fun."
But what Ryuu Kumo didn't expect was that after Saitama's self-introduction, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Current role-play completion +2%!"
Ryuu Kumo's heart stirred.
This time, the role-play completion gained was less than before.
But don't forget, his role-play completion was already over 80%!
That meant every 1% now was extremely precious to him.
He didn't expect just a few words with Saitama to add 2%.
Ryuu Kumo grew even more eager.
Fighting Saitama should increase role-play completion, right?
How much would it increase?
Could it get him to 100% and grant power surpassing Dracule Mihawk?
Ryuu Kumo didn't know yet.
In any case, fight first and talk later!
With that thought, Ryuu Kumo's hawk-like eyes sharpened. He swung the transformed black blade Night again, slashing at Saitama.
Strong Armored Haki swirled around, and once more, a fierce azure beast of light surged forward, charging wildly at Saitama not far away!
Buzz!!!
Boom!!!
The sound of sword humming and earth cracking rose.
Fubuki was greatly shocked. She hadn't been prepared earlier but now regained some composure, quickly activating the little psychic power she had to fly higher.
Though she still didn't fully understand Ryuu Kumo and Saitama's situation, it was clear that Saitama, who could calmly withstand Ryuu Kumo's slash without a scratch, was definitely no ordinary person.
If these two fought, it would be a monster clash. She'd better keep her distance.
Then, as if confirming Fubuki's thoughts, the battlefield instantly turned terrifying as Ryuu Kumo and Saitama struck.
Ryuu Kumo's astonishing slash cut the ground into a thousand holes, while Saitama suddenly planted his foot, avoiding the slash, cracking the ground as he dashed toward Ryuu Kumo.
That moment's afterimages dazzled the eyes, almost impossible to catch.
But with hawk eyes, Ryuu Kumo quickly tracked Saitama's movement.
At the same time, his powerful Observation Haki gave him strong support.
Without hesitation, Ryuu Kumo suddenly gripped his sword with both hands and spun his body fiercely.
Buzz!!!
A huge circle of azure light, like rippling waves, surged out with a roar!
The surrounding ground exploded with dust, shattered for several meters.
Seeing this, Saitama jumped hard into the air, once again avoiding the wave-like slash.
But this move revealed a flaw.
Ryuu Kumo seized the chance, gripping Night tightly, and slashed with all his might!
Boom!!!!!
A thunderous roar echoed in midair!
A giant crescent-shaped azure light surged from the blade, piercing the sky, then with the momentum of splitting heaven and earth, fiercely struck Saitama in midair!
